Mission.
Kalim’s Bikes’ mission is to take the bicycle beyond the world of sport and bring it into the world of fashion. A bike isn’t just gear – it’s part of a style and an aesthetic choice.
I treat it as something you wear – chosen the same way as clothes or accessories. I design with proportion, detail, and timeless materials in mind.
Leather, wood, and a nod to classic cycling craftsmanship give the bikes a noble character. I want them to look just as good in motion as when they’re simply standing still.
History
Club 27 (the bike) started as a gift I made for myself on my twenty-seventh birthday. There was no business plan or cold calculation behind it. It was a need to create something that would be an extension of my style.
Over time, refining “Club 27” grew into Kalim’s Bikes – a natural evolution of the graphic design work I’d been doing for years.
Manifesto
1. Pull yourself together, because it’s going to be hard.
2. Failures are coming – that’s part of the game.
3. We don’t do this for the money. If you do, leave / stop doing it.
4. Is what you’re doing actually needed right now? If not, start doing what you should be doing.
5. Money exists so you can make bigger things happen!!!
6. Everything that’s ever gotten done, got done through talking to people! Talk.
